Midnight Poison by Dior

For: women Designer: Dior Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
Video

More than twenty years since creation of legendary Poison, Dior is launching the fifth of the Poison range, Midnight Poison. John Galliano's inspiration for visual image of this perfume is the fairytale of Cinderella, brought to life by the French actress Eva Green. The mystery starts when the clock beats midnight, and she is disappearing in the haze. The colors of the flacon are cobalt and ultramarine blue, and it is designed to be reminiscent of Cinderella's dress.

The new Dior's poison is opening with citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot to the rose heart, and patchouli, amber and French vanilla in the base. The creators of Midnight Poison are Jacques Cavallier and Olivier Cresp of Firmenich in collaboration with Francois Demachy of LVMH.

Midnight Poison is a new fragrance and it was introduced in 2007.

This is one sexy fragrance...The light citruses,rose,vanilla and amber are so well-blended, its almost impossible to identify one component alone w/o another distracting u immediately... Soft, sexy and long-lasting too!!!

This to me really smells "blue". And what an captivating and magical blue it is! Oh my gosh! When I smell this straight from the bottle is smells very masculine actually. But that is also amazing to me because it lets me know what an complex fragrance this really is.
It absolutely is. Also Its only listed six notes here on fragrantica, but dont let that fool you!
I guess the notes blends really well together and makes this beautiful and haunting scent. When sprayed on the skin it gets quite sweet after a little while. In the beginning its almost fresh, like an cool winddraft passing by. This is the mandarin orange and bergamot i guess. but the amber, rose and vanilla blends together so very well that it is almost impossible to pick up one spesific note after some time on the skin. Its only the opening blast of citruses and patchouli that's clear to me. But when that settles down, all i can smell is this rich and beautiful fusion of a scent. And even if this scent is of the drier ones, all i can think of when i smell it is this warm, misty room with some kind of soft bluish hue glowing all over and waterdrops running down the bricks on the walls. So very warm and comforting.
A true mystery..

I would say, this one is magical in a dark way and reminds me of vermouth. On my skin it smells more like patchouli mixed with some berries (they seem to smooth the patchouli heaviness a bit). It's definitely a sexy one, I even wear it in the daytime, usually giving a light spread on my wrist, then touching another one, and then the neck on both sides. One sniff is usually not enough to form an impression, so people tend to make another try (which eventually ends up in a compliment).
I should add that I don't like the original Poison/Pure Poison (the latter one being just a dull vanilla one with no depth).
However, one shouldn't wear it too often (it's like an enchanting song one can't get enough at first but when listening to it a thousand times suddenly gets tired).

Allured by the beautiful commercial i tried this and i must say i hated it. It smells awful in my skin. Dior's poison fragrances don't work for me, definatly.

To me this perfume smelled like insect spray and lemon rind. I could barely smell any floral or sweet undertones. I detest patchouli though. I love Hypnotic and pure poisons so much though I thought I'd give it a try. Perhaps I got a bad sample?

for me the best smell. Unluckily not for me.
It has everything, it is pure, strong, it changes during the day. Very special, remarkable and obviously luxurious.

But it requires a LOT of style. I wear mostly back dress, high-heeled shoes...but it is not enough. This fragrance is very sexy and you need to be more to wear it.

For me it s on a half way between pure and hypnotic poison, and most sofisticated from all this serie.
Strong, lasts for 2 days on clothes, 7 hours on (my) skin. I find the dryout quite spicy

Wow, my tester must have been gone bad. I thought it was horrible, really alike to smell of expired perfume. Too oily and herbal in a non-pleasant way. I'm going to give this one another chance one day to find out what's happened...

My fiance loves to nestle up to my neck when i wear this..i love to wear this when i don my corset, catty eye-liner, fishnets, gothic boots, bondage belt & choker..it blends perfectly with my gothic persona that comes alive at night. Smoldering..mysterious, spicy, darkly sexy. this one's a keeper!

Don't know why I bought this it's horrid. Hypnotic and original poison are the best. This is overly sharp and I think the only sexy thing about it is the bottle oh, and of course Eva Green in the clever advertising. Lost this when I brought it to a party- hope someone else likes it more than me!!

I made myself this fragrance a present in december for Christmas and from the first day I wore this, my friends and office colleagues told me that is very nice scent, very sexy..i receive compliments every time y wear this...
Midnight Poison could be a unisex perfume because is not very feminine..This is not a fragrance for shy ladies or for "good" girls, it is for strong, sexy girls...and why not boys...Very suitable for a rock bitch..
I love the top notes! long lasting fragrance! This is mesmerizng!

Just got this beautiful syrupy concoction and I like it very much! In the beginning there was this masculine edge to it but it quickly subsided. It smells like roses and patochuli stirred into a pot of simple syrup mixed with zests of oranges and lemons. You might think that by syrup you may think of heavy and thick but its quite fresh. Very interesting. Don't let the midnight blue bottle fool you. It can be worn more that just in the cold of winter. My favorite poison.

I tried it yesterday...the saleslady almost didn´t want to give it to me. She said it was too strong and that she doubted I would like it. Well, I did like it.

I don´t think it is a strong perfume at least not on me. It is a citrusy smell, bit smokey and metalic. I think it is very mysterious scent. Definitely something for femme fatale, very sexy smell but not in "I want to seduce you and cuddle" warm way...it´s more like "I don´t really care whether you think I am sexy but I know you find me very sexy" way :)

PS: Eva Green was a very good choice for this one...I saw her in the movie Cracks and I think this is THE perfume her character would wear in the movie.

EDIT: The more I wear it, the more I love it... very intriguing scent... I feel special, unique, mysterious when I wear it

Poison for men? Perhaps. The odd opening bergamot & mandarin are found in so many men formulas and rose is used sometime. The most obvious notes are in the closing.Patcholi, amber and vanilla. Thats it. I have smelled sweeter mens perfume. If men like rose as the middle note, then by all means, they should try it. Oddly it works for me. None of the other Poisons ever would. Its dry, and whispers sweetly through the darkness-perfect for the gothic set or poets who need a muse. Its dryness reminds me of autumn leaves blowing in the chill night wind.

UPDATE: I finally received my mini bottle in the mail today. Just as I hoped, I love it! My fiance's reaction to it was both humorous and satisfying ;)
I was expecting it to smell similar to hypnotic poison, but they are like night and day. BEAUTIFUL fragrance and it lasts long as it is EDP. Love it!!

The first time I tried this I HATED it. It simply smelled awful to me- but that's what I get for smelling a bunch of perfumes at once (I was at the store...). After reading endless positive reviews I went back without trying other perfumes before, and everything changed-this is one beautiful perfume! I had to buy it, of course. It's gorgeous.

I have quite recently overcomed my prejudices regarding the original Poison (which IS a stunning beauty) and came across a sample of Midnight Poison:

I find it to be a wonderful fragrance. I don't find it strong (original Poison is strong) but not light either. It's rather deep and as someone wrote: "translucent": big but you want to have more of it. Another great beauty among the Poisons. Big dark velvety roses on a bed of patcholi and vanilla. A very sensual and simply adorable fragrance.

This is something I really would like to wear nights out or on a romantic dinner for two.

I am very intrigued by this scent and cannot wait to get my sample. I have one thing to say though: why do people always mention that certain perfumes are best suited for "light-skinned" women??!! I don't understand a previous comment that this scent was repeatedly "bitter and awful" on brunettes or those with dark skin. PEOPLE! Every perfume varies from one woman's chemistry to the next- leave skin/hair color out of it! A similar idiotic comment was made regarding Issey Miyake, that it is best suited for light haired and light complected women. Issey Miyake smells ultra sexy on me, and judging how hypnotic poison does also, I believe Midnight Poison will too. I will follow up after I receive my sample...

I agree with zvoncica, on my skin it it not at all strong or heavy either.
I was really surprised by this fact, as I find the other poisons all very strong.
This I even find delicate. I really like the bergamot-patchouli mix in the beginning and I also like the rose note.
Then the woody-oriental base appears and reminds me of Hypnotic Poison but much softer.
I like it a lot but I don't know if I will repurchase. Sometimes it seemes to me, as if the notes are not mixed well enough. As if they disturbe each other instead of highlighting.
Another time I will like exactly that effect as it makes the perfume a bit edgy and unique.
It definately has something to it.
Lasting power is not so great, about 5 hours on my skin, but lasted days on fabric.
I think the lasting power is the main problem.
Don't think I am willing to pay Dior price if I don't get the usual Dior lasting power.

edit:
So I finished my little bottle and did not repurchase. I felt like the notes could have been balanced better.
But the main reason for me to not repurchase was the very bad lasting power.
I believe that a good quality perfume always is a combination of good scent and reasonable lasting power.

The fame that Midnight Poison is strong and heavy scent isn’t true. At least not to my perception.

From my skin beautiful light rose mixed with citruses radiated around me. There is also massively disliked patchouli, in this case tender enough to spice up the receipt but not ruin it. Midnight Poison isn’t even warm scent in full meaning of the word, I detected pronounced “cold” note resembling to menthol in first hour wearing it. I felt like someone is blowing cold air up my hand. After that scent becomes creamy and transforms into real oriental, although never strong and warm as other oriental are.

If I can use only one word to describe Midnight Poison I would definitely say it’s Magical. There are no siblings of this perfume laying around, it is truly one of a kind.

Probably the Good Witch of North from the Land of Oz is wearing it. :)

Tried it yesterday. The saleslady said it is a very strong perfume...it did not seem that way on me. I liked it, but after a few minutes on my wrist it started to smell like soap??? I was also disappointed by its lack of lasting power on me. The Pure Poison seems to last longer, on me anyways.

It's my first review and it is for my temporary favourite, Midn.Poison. I love it for cold days. But at first I smell some fruit, some berries and grapefruit and in the middle very sweet rose. Drydown is very musky on my skin. Cooworker said it is the most sexiest fragrance he ever smelled.

I didn't smell rose in the middle. How can this be?

The drydown was gorgeous, like all Poisons, they all have something similar in their drydowns -- and unique, nothing else has it.

But I didn't get any rose... only cinnamon candy. I will have to stick with some different poison, not this one.

I've tested it long time ago and I didn't like it. Yesterday I've got miniature and it was heaven. Some people say that this smell is not for Cinderella but it is - if you picture Gothic Cinderella in velvet dress.
I must admit that I cannot believe that this mix of notes could make something like this. I don't feel rose at all.
I just feel elegance and dark sweet, very very sexy scent.
I am receiving compliments all day.

It's absolutely DIVINE, EXQUISITE, of ULTIMATE ELEGANCE. It's mesmerising, breathtakig, lovely, subtle yet powerful, a perfect and impressive fragrance. It's so distinct and elegant that no other perfume can state these qualities better. I would expect only a godess to smell like this . Absolutely gorgeous, perfect!

After two years of admiring period I finally found the courage to buy it. It has been my favorite poison ever. Not as much daring as Hypnotic, not as excessively flowery and powdery as Pure or Tender. Ok I agree it has a masculine side but I believe that this is a way of the modern woman which she has to have, so it fits to strong, self-confident woman of the day, but still is enjoying the romance. It has a fresh start also goes on the skin all day long, patchouli mostly but a nice combination with rose giving the romantic part. I observed that it gives awful results on dark/brunette skins which has a strong natural smell, turning into a very bitter note. On lightest skin, blondes and scarlets I like most, smells more refreshing even. So test on your skin and leave one day to see before you buy it. Suitable for everyday - work life with a limited use.

It's so strange for me that so many new feminine scents in the latest years go either towards a harsh masculine edge or an extra sugar-gourmand one, both choices falling on a side or the other of that narrow line that is balance and elegance.
Midnight Poison belongs to the harsh-masculine side.
The super-hyped and unbearable Hypnotique Poison falls the the sickengly sweet-chemical side.
Then again Pure Poison is in the harsh after-shave trend.
And now this Midnight Poison...
I still own the original Poison from the '80s and it was a totally different thing. Strong, sweet, big, but it didn't hit me on my nervous system like these last Dior's creations.
Why perfumers are not able to make a good scent anymore? Is it just my taste? Was it so difficult for Dior to make it a little less harsh, more accurate and slightly more floral instead that a block of patchouli thrown on your head?
The idea wasn't bad, the actual thing doesn't stand up to its price.

Gee I really am a sucker for those blue glass bottles. This bottle is really beautiful, dark, holdable and lovely. The perfume itself has topnotes which don't immediately beguile me - a bit too Diorsy, a bit all over the place, but it fades down to a beautiful and unusual incense smell which makes it worthwhile for me.

Midnight Poison is quite a fascinatingly complex scent.

The scent itself is rather heavy and strong. There is an intriguing blend of amber, spices, patchouli, citrus and classic rose throughout.

At first sniff you realise that this is something different, something mysterious. You'll find yourself overwhelmed by dark, woodsy undertones, exotic spices and a syrupy-like sweetness.

There's a certain sense of masculinity in this fragrance, however with that being said, I do still think this scent wears well on women. Midnight Poison commands attention. It is bold, dark, sensual, smooth, dramatic and intriguing.

I particularly love the smokey, almost 'incensey' quality this fragrance creates when worn on the skin. The dark, midnight blue coloured bottle certainly portrays what is yet to come, a potent potion for the brave and daring woman.

Midnight Poison is a long-lasting and incredibly tempting fragrance that is difficult to resist.

In the beginning it is lush dark and mysterious and so vigilant. It just keeps getting stronger and stronger and the patchouli takes over and it becomes very strong. I felt like I was drowning! P.S. I love strong scents but this one I can't get into!

Ok...It's kind of like vics vapo rub with patchouli...even though that doesn't sound great somehow to me it kind of worked...i will never wear this it is much too powerful and strong for me but i can see where for the right person it could be a very good fragrance... i would say if you are looking for something truly "Goth" try this one....staying power lasts forever as i have found for most Dior fragrances....This is something i could imagine on a beautiful sexy mysterious confident vampiress

I love this blue monster,quite seductive,warm and somewhat mystical.
I smell the currant or some very fine dark bitter-sweet jam, after an hour or two becomes very interesting, reminiscent of men's cologne, but only for a moment and then is actually the most attractive.
Smells like a good wine to me, even with some dark plum added,but unfortunately to enjoy the fragrance you must be quite close to a person, unlike Dolce Vita that spread like a cloud. And maybe strange-an excellent perfume for a good night.

I rarely can wear a fragrance with patchouli at it's heart,but this one is divine. I love the dark and sexy rose at the center. Other than Pure Poison this is the best Poison.

It is not a bad perfume, but it contains too many woody notes and patchouli, which are typical in men's cologne. It is maybe for a woman who would wear masculine fragrances, and it is by no means seductive. It however defines well an independent woman.

1st sniff: a poisoned cough syrup! (Horror!)

2nd sniff: candied, deep rose (better!)

3rd sniff: whoa! Rein in the patchouli (jingle-jangle!)

4th sniff: thin, yet deep, dark yet tranlucent, feminine rose meets tamed patchouli stirred into a pot of treacly sugar syrup (seductive!)

5th sniff: Mmmm, cosy vanilla, a rose with a hint of red-berry fruits & a touch of bitter woods... smooth as silk, yet rich like a liqueur (perfect dry-down for a dark rose)

Not something I would choose for myself, but enjoyable none-the-less. Great scent for a fruity-floral gal who wants to move into florientals, or rose-lovers who want to impress on a nightout.

Interestingly, not as dark, deep & daring as I had imagined (it could easily work in the office)....I had hoped for a true, midnight "gothic rose"....add incense & you may have caught me sampling this poison.

Excellent, yet totally unrelated to the original. This is dry and nocturnal. To carry on the poison legacy is tough, yet this succeeds wonderfully. The opening is my only complaint is the opening notes. Citrus somehow clashes with the other notes. Then the power develops, with roses and something richer, that I cannot identify. It whispers seduction, and reminds me of "Evening in Paris", that old lost classic which was blue as well. Perhaps the best since the original.

Perfumista Advisory- Contains Unfavorable Review Contents...look away if Dior Midnight Poison is your passion!
The opening mandarin and bergamot are sharp, sour, and incongruent. I do love citrus top notes, always, but here, some how, some way, they were ruined. The rose is kind of a "pop" rose, also candy coated, pronounced. The french vanilla stands out the most, syrupy...The patchouli and amber, wich could give some spice of life and sophistication, just aren't lively enough for me. The first testing for me was awful. It was, even, repulsive at first, but after the top notes disappeared it was dull, typical, so, at least no longer a torture to wear. The second testing...today.. the mandarin is much better, but still the citrus opening is not as wonderful as it should be, and, itś still overywhelmingly sweet, sweet, sweet, and the french vanilla makes me think of an expensive cappucino with lots of industrialized aromitizing flavorings & additives. My hoosband says he likes the smell of it in the air.. Not too exciting, not too interesting, I don't even find it unique. I'm glad, however, that it brings happiness to many others out there, enjoy, enjoy...

i am in love with this fragrance
it has such an amazing character
it's sweet sensual and dark but at the same time
it is not draining it has sparks the keep it light and interesting, kind of light a night sky at first all you see is dark and mysterious, but then you can see sparks of light coming from the stars and soon enough the whole night sky seems to be bright and lighting up all around you!
It is so feminine even if it is deep and slightly spicy.
So gorgeous and i can't get enough of it!

I really like this scent. It's very sexy and it instantly reminds me of Agent Provocateur (the original perfume). I don't think this is a sweet scent at all. This scent is very dark,lingering and seductive. I can hardly smell the rose at all allthough I seem to mostly woods and spice.

Intriguing, Alluring, Mysterious, Sexy, Intoxicating........Provocative. Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Patchouli, Bourbon Vanilla, Rose Absolute, Ambrox, Amber........A rainbow of invigorating ingredients. This is woodsy oriental heaven! It’s extremely sexy, producing that WOW factor. It’s breathtaking and undulating, absolutely celestial under the nose. From the top notes to the middle notes and right down to the base notes......This is one delicious bottle of juice. It's a bit on the pricey side, but you won't be disappointed with your purchase. You don't even have to spray much, cause a little goes a very long way. It lingers continuously on your skin and stays on your clothes for days. Do splurge on this one. It's worth every penny and your man will love it. I can’t keep mine off of me when I wear it. Trust me! If you wear this, you will attract all kinds of attention. This one doesn't disappoint. Ideal for romantic and intimate evenings and should only be worn during the fall and winter.

I love all the other Poisons, especially the original, hypnotic (masterpiece) and pure... but: this Midnight Poison is the WORST fragrance by far from the house of Dior. Smells just like "Relax" by Davidoff. So if you want to smell like a gay man in the 80's go for it. Horrible, horrible, horrible. HO-RRI-BLE.

Warning not for the faint of heart- this is no bubble gum girlie scent, this is for the victorian corset loving temptress or any women who's chemistry fit this scent. That would be me, my skin love this MP. I hate vanilla with a passion however somehow my skin and nose doesn't get any Sweetness of vanilla. Very good for me.

Bergamot, rose and musk. Soft and seductive at the same time. While wearing it, I can close my eyes and see a beautiful woman skulking through a field adorning a midnight blue gown, as her love awaits to feel her embrace with the over hanging moon guiding her way with soft silvery beams.

This does have a tendency to be masculine, so it's definitely not for everyone. If you want quiet and sweet, this isn't it.

i think this one is enigmatic. very smooth and dark with sharp and bright edges. it even seems both classic and modern at the same time to me.

I like others fell for pure poison first, this is also a perfume you MUST spray on your skin! Be brave and just do it!
The lovely poison first opens with dark citrus I sense the patchouli almost from the very begining. At first it is a little startling, but it settles down into the most intense rose, almost like a rose with extra thorns, dark mysterious but so pretty you have to smell it! The patchouli and rose mix and settle on the skin in such a glorious way.

This is definitely an evening scent, so alluring and sexy...I love it and I am so surprised! Definitely a must have in a woman's perfume wardrobe. Dark and sensuous! YUM!

This is my second favorite scent of the "Poison" range (following "Pure Poison"). "Midnight Poison" breaks with the very 1980's heaviness of the original "Poison", injecting a much drier, almost masculine note to the drydown without loosing the seductiveness of the original.I enjoy this Poison more than the "Hypnotic" version because the vanilla doesn't overwhelm the rest of the composition, but rather warms the basenotes by taking the edge off of them. A good special occasion frag with enough personality to stand out from the crowd.

I'm not a fan of poison and this one doesn't match my chemistry just like the others.
it's very warm and strong at the first sniff and the rose is very original here.not a mild rose,but a very dominant sweet and powdery rose.it gives me the idea of a cruel mistress who's looking for a victim to kill.she must be brutal and sensual,but not kind nor romantic.
so they've chosen the right name.it's the midnight poison.the poison the lovers will drink and fall while the brutal lady was making them believe she loves them!

I disagree with adves87 about Midnight Dior...I think it's quite fresh compared to the other Poisons - it's younger, fresher, not "old lady"like...it has a lot of patchouli and maybe it is what some people dislike.. but it is not intense or strong!!! It isn't really, or at least, not once the top notes fade. As for the name Midnight Poison it is a bit dark but it is not at all rich or heavy. I wear it happily and find it very sexy, intriguing scent for the evening or going out...

The first impression is not great to be honest, I can always smell this chemical note, kind of medical. But if you give it time to develop, it becomes splendid, deep, intriguing.
I love the commercial for it, it really manages to show the true spirit of this fragrance.

Men love this one. I first smelled this because my brother sprayed the tester onto a ribbon in a department store and brought the ribbon to me (I was in a different section of the store)saying that it smelled so nice. I didn't pay too much attention at that time, but later I developed a fondness for this perfume. It is strong and was the first of its kind when it came out (Now Gucci has imitations of this).
My dad also likes this one. He said a lot of the perfumes make him feel dizzy, but this one doesn't make him feel unwell at all.

This lovely and sexy! Not a fan of Poison this one is a nice surprise.The freshness of the citrus note blend well with the sweetness of vanilla and amber.
Deceptively simple it catches you off guard and before you know it you are traped. Great for romantic and evening wear!

It would be much better if it could get rid of this sour smell that doesn't match with the rest of the notes at all. Other than that, it's not bad at all..

At the beginning, this smell a lot of pachouli for my nose, not too citrus (nice!)... not too "midnight"... not very pleasant at all for me.
But... the dry down... yesss :) Its sensual and attractive, the amber in this its very pleasant, delightful!.
For my taste, its not like a dark midnight... its more close to a starry evening wearing a beautiful veil :)

Everytime I put this one I get suprised of how nice a creation this is. You have to like patsjuli to like this one. The amber is lovely, almost juicy. The fragrance is heavy, but at the same time very fresh. It lasts a long-long-long time and it gets better by the hour. It is one of my favorites, but unfortunatly this one gives me headace once in a while (I am very sensitive).

Tell you the truth,I always hate original poison,it's a sillage monster and too much of everything.And it make me afraid of all poison line...until now.I read a lot of good reviews about Midnight Poison,which make me curious and want to try it.Wow! it's totally different.Midnight is powerful but elegance at the same time.For me it have a sharp "cool"scent in the opening and follow by sexy musky with a bit powdery in the end.This might be my first Poison that I could buy it!

What a bliss.
I thought i will never find anything more exciting than Gucci by Gucci, that would surround me with a smooth, smokey and creamy veil but this fragrance actually does it well.
Fruity and zesty in first notes, magically turns into an explosive and seductive mixture of patchouli and amber smoothed by soothing vanilla.
I guess Cinderella story promoting that scent was a perfect match.This fragrance turns into a fairytale like experience after few hours of wearing it.Love it!

Can anybody tell me, if there´s really so much Patchouli in this? I mean, how strong does the Patchouli come out? I love Patchouli, and if MP has a lot of it, this might be my next buy.

When I smelt it for the first time I said: "Oh my God! This is a great fragrance"...
It's intense, alluring, intoxicating, long lasting, luxurious, oriental and spicy in the same time, for evening use...
I like the mix between bergamot, rose, orange and patchouli...
This is A MUST perfume...

Finally, a worthy successor to the original Poison. Very dry patchouli, rose, and woods, the drydown is tres sexy. It's an elegant perfume best reserved for evenings. Go easy, though - this one could easily overpower everything around you!

This is great perfume, when I tried him it was love on first sight. I like the fact that on my skin he is so dark and deep, not sweet and not masculine at all. Something in this perfume attract me so much. I have only 2 objection for him, he is not so lasting on me and he is skin perfume, he doesn't have aura. But in spite of this, this perfume is one of my favorite. To simplify, this perfume is me.

First time i sprayed it on the testing paper it smelled like plasticine, but when i tried it on myself it smelled quite good, but i wouldnt have bought it, it was a gift for my mother but she didnt like it, on her it smelled like on the paper, but on me it was better, so now its mine;) and i like it though it cant be worn often because its not a very simple scent, not for everyday use

I bought this and I like it though its not my favourite. The initial smell to me is the burnt orange. But the dry down is lovely, I spray it on my bed to make my room smell gorgeous, you can smell it for days! What a waste, Dior on my Sheets!!!!!!!!!

Nothing special nor outstanding on this one but for my point of view, still tons better than the earlier version of the so called "Pure Poison", which to me is a real disaster made worst with a misfit name.

Lasting power is not there for me....

Love it! In my opinion it's the best poison fragrance. It's very strong, so apply it with a light hand. It's a perfect evening fragrance or a winter fragrance.

I bought this one from Sephora without even smelling it because it wasn't out in Canada yet. I just had to have it! It is a bit heavy at first. It's very spicy and has that spruce-beer-like quality that I like about Hypnotic Poison (just my nasal interpretation). It's a long-lasting scent with a very sexy, sophisticated dry down. A little goes a long way. I wouldn't wear this in the summer because it could be too heavy and leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed.

At first spray, it's not particularly attractive. However, if you give it a few minutes, it starts to soften and it loses its medicinal smell. It becomes quite attractive and sexy. Don't use too much because it's quite strong. If you want to make an impression, this is the perfume for you. It's on my "to buy" list.

Agreed, KeLLStar. I kept the card I sprayed it on, and by the next day, it smelled more floral, much less offensive, and I could no longer smell the strong patchouli and Ben-Gay. Thanks for listing the notes that assaulted me. It's good to know.

This first spray which I'm guessing is the patchouli/bergamot/orange smells rather like a sweet "Vicks Vapor Rub" - which might scare some people away. If you brave the "Vicks" out, it steps back, rewarding you with a beautiful soft floral, rose/vanilla scent.

This is not an everyday perfume for me but when I'm in the right mood - I absolutely love it! It's gorgeous for Winter or cooler days.

Definitely recommended!

I wanted to like this perfume, because the video on YouTube is so intriguing. But when I sprayed it on a card, it smelled like Ben-Gay. The lady at the counter warned me, "It smells better on skin than on the card, more musky." I think that was supposed to sell me, but it didn't. I want a scent to smell just as good on me as on my stationery! But I sprayed it on me anyway. Woo-ee! 'Didn't like it. 'Don't know what notes are in it. 'Just didn't like it. And then when I tried to wash it off. . . I was able to remove the Ben-Gay smell, but was left with nothing but patchouli which wouldn't come off with soap and water! (I hate patchouli!)

I can't feel any roses, the spices, amber and woods are too strong. But to some women it fits quite well.

The latest addition to the 'Poison' arsenal I tried out of curiosity is a surpise! Don't be taken in by this seemingly innocent 'infusion of rose, patchouli and amber' statement written in the advert and on the tester bottle. It is actually a quite complex, full-blown composition, which gives out its notes over time changing gradually from one to another, back and forth, while still retaining the same sweet - spicy -woody character. If you're interesed which notes I am talking about, here's what I can detect: fleety bergamot, oozing rose, patcholi and amber, at the base sweet and soft amber. So what you get is a velvety, slightly powdery spice bomb.. luxurious indeed!
It is a strong essence (eau de parfum) but much much lighter than any other 'Poison'. I mean lighter as in 'heaviness' not as in 'density'. In fact it doesn't resemble any 'Poison'. This perfume has its own character and would deserve its own name. The product is very-well marketed and would appeal to a wide audience. The price can be off-putting though as it is going at £29.99 per 30 ml eau de parfum in the high street.

Yes, it is good! i've tried to recognize the note of previous Poisons in it, but it suddenly became so dark and intriguing, with woodsy and spicy heart, and dark rose in it. It contains masculine note to highlight its femininity.
